History on Tap: Shipwrecks of Cape Cod

  • Cape Cod Maritime Museum 135 South Street Barnstable, MA, 02601 United States (map)

From the wreck of the Sparrow-Hawk in 1626 to the grounding of the Eldia in 1984, Cape Cod’s outer beach—often referred to as the “Graveyard of Ships”—saw the demise of more than three thousand vessels along forty miles of shifting shoals. Join us as Author Don Wilding revisits these maritime disasters, and follow up with our new exhibit, The Menace of Cape Cod: A Hazard to Navigation.

$5 per person, members free, IDs will be checked at the door for those sampling beer.

Sponsored by Cape Cod Beer! Join us to try 4 different varieties of brews: Blonde, Red, Summer, and IPA!
